Attention:
A four-digit feature code is used to specify a component that is configurable in the IBM configurators, the eBusiness Configurator (eConfig) and the IBM Web-based Hardware Configurator, used in US and Canada. Options that do not have feature codes cannot be integrated by IBM into a system using these IBM configurators. To purchase options separately, refer to the option part number provided in this document.

Notes:
  1. Model numbers provided are worldwide generally available
    variant (GAV) model numbers which are not orderable as listed
    and need to be modified by country. The U.S. GAV model numbers
    use the following nomenclature: xxU. For example, the U.S.
    orderable part number for 7996-21Y is 7996-21U. See the product-
    specific Official IBM announcement letter for other country-
    specific GAV model numbers. GAV to MTM mapping for A.P.
    Geographies follow the same pattern. Substitute the last
    character with a country-specific designator.
  2. Maximum capacity requires replacing the standard DIMMs.
    Memory mirroring, memory sparing and Chipkill functions are
    supported.
  3. System management functionality, interconnect network
    connectivity and console connectivity are managed through
    the standard management module. The standard integrated
    service processor monitors the BladeCenter HC10 (7996)
    system management activity, communicating with the advanced
    management module in the BladeCenter.
  4. The BladeCenter HC10 (7996) comes preloaded with Microsoft
    Windows Vista Business Blade PC 64-bit Edition. Microsoft Windows
    XP Professional and Microsoft Windows XP Professional 64-bit
    edition are both supported OS options but are not preload options.
